While Tom waited patiently for Lacey to arrive at the spot he had told her to meet him, he saw Tate walking towards him with a smile plastered on his face and his date under his arm. "Tom." "Hey guys." He smiled. Lacey would split the moment she saw him. "What happened?" He looked at Tate. "Apparently, the movie isn't showing there today. So we decided to come here." "Nice." He looked at his watch, then behind Tate and spotted Lacey coming their way. "Excuse me. I've got to go make a call. I'll stay out of your way. Wouldn't want to be an unplanned third wheel. Nice to see you again Miranda." Lacey's stomach fluttered as she walked, she couldn't bring herself to raise her head. It was supposed to be like the time at the mall. But it felt nothing like that. She was so nervous that she was beginning to feel stiff. Finally she looked up and saw Tom talking to Tate. Her eyes met Tom's and she turned around. There was no way she was doing this. Before s

"So are you sending more songs for us to listen to?" Lacey spoke into her phone while she looked through her books. "Why would I? I've got Darin here with me. I don't need you.""She gasped dramatically at her older brother's words. "How cruel could you get?" He laughed. "I was looking forward to this. I'm always looking forward to it." "Like I said. I don't need you.""Yet. But you will." "Oh yeah? With what?""Darin loses interest real quick sometimes." She ran her hand through her hair. "I know that.""So when he gets tired of choosing your jingles, you'll have to ask me." He laughed. "I think he's already losing interest."See. So you do need me." "Maybe, maybe not.""That screams hope to me." "Yeah whatever." He sighed. "How was working at the hotel today?" "Darin's so lucky. He doesn't have to do this anymore.""Yeah. For now." "For three years. That's a lot of time. And I have to do his work

Tom sat on the hood of his car and rested his back on the windshield with one hand behind his head and the other covering his eyes from the sun's rays. He listened to the music playing from his car and hummed along to it. Tate stood beside him guzzling a bottle of water. Dehydrated from all the running around they had done during practice. "Tom." Tate called when he had emptied the bottle. "Mm hmm.""Get in the car. Let's go." He tossed his gym bag in the back seat "I'm too tired to get up.""Fine then. I'll drive with you sitting out there." Tom chuckled. "Sawyer did that once. Peggy was so scared. She swore she was going to kill me for driving." Tate smirked. "How is he by the way? Haven't seen him in months." "He's good. He came over for half the summer.""Nice." Tom grunted and he slid off the hood. "Hey that reminds me." "What?" He tossed his bag in the back as well and got in."Winstone is throwing a party after the game tomorrow night. You're going to be t

-Hi there. Are you done playing hard to get? Cause I miss you. Go out with me today my lovely. Dennis.-A deep scowl plastered on her face, Lacey crumpled the piece of paper she had found in her locker before gathering her books and going off to her next class. As the class went on, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She glanced over her shoulder and a note was slipped into her hand. -You look pretty today as always. Did you read my first note? Go out with me. Please. You know I won't stop. I promise we'll be better than before. Just say yes. Dennis-She sighed and closed her eyes. Why did she even keep reading his stupid note? She crumpled the note as well and pushed it to the corner of her desk. Even after the class was over her eye brows remained furrowed. She sat at the lunch table trying really hard to listen to what Bethany and Anita were talking about. Dennis' little notes had left her mind flooding with how best to tell him she had a boyfriend. She bit he

He had one hand round her waist and the other on her face while her hands gripped his shirt. Lacey had practically forgotten all about Dennis and his words. She had to tell Tom though. Maybe when he wasn't kissing her. They were behind a hidden colum. Almost too in the dark for anyone to see their faces. "What happened to not kissing me in the dark?" "I miss you and I need a kiss before the game. We could keep not making out in the dark to strictly cinemas." They kept kissing. "I like that idea. Tom.""Mm hmm?" "Dennis didn't believe me.""Then ignore him. I know I was very close to giving up when you ignored me." She laughed. Now all her worries about that were gone. Her phone began to ring. "Its my mother." She cleared her throat. His lips moved down to her neck. "Mother?" "You're late."She bit her lip. "I know. I went home. I'll be leaving soon." He chuckled. "Hurry up.""I will." The line went dead. "I have to go." "I know. Me too." He stepped back with

Darin sank into the couch in his brother's office for the third time that day. Staring at the wall, he sighed and looked over at Marvin who's head was in his phone and his feet on his desk. "I'm starting to think I should have stayed home instead of following you here." Marvin ignored him. "Can I have my phone back now?" "Not a chance. You invade my work place, I invade your phone.""Yeah well, I'm just about ready to leave, so invasions are over. Are you looking at that Holloway app again?" "Yeah. Unfortunately, the only interesting thing on it was that fight you showed me. Every other thing on here is stupid and boring." "Then check something else. Maybe YouTube or something. I want to delete the app even." "Hold up, a new video's been posted."Darin sighed, very ready to get up and snatch the phone from him. Maybe it'll make the day a little less boring. He got to his feet. "Shouldn't you be working?" Marvin's fingers worked the phone. The video started

Tom reclined in his chair at the lunch bar, his friends listening to what he was saying. "Fifteen grand against Croft." He said. So far, besides the stares he got, his friends hadn't brought the kiss up and that was a good thing. He couldn't say the same for Lacey. The last time he glanced her way she had her head down and other girls besides the two girls she was with obviously had something to say. How was he going to start apologising? Not to mention when he went looking for her after Ms. Patter's class he couldn't find her. She wasn't even in the burnt house. "Fifteen grand against Croft. You're betting with college kids?" David spoke and Tom nodded. "What if you lose? And by that I mean what if they win?" "Then I'll pay. What else can I do?""To tell the truth Tom, I think your betting is getting out of hand." Tate added. "You should slow it down a bit." "What? I can pay.""It's not the point dude. It's gambling." George spoke up. "On some level you have to know tha

"What's going on?" Bethany asked when she approached the other girls at the table. Lacey had her head bent and her forehead creased, hating herself for allowing herself to be dragged to the lunch bar. After her last class before lunch, Anita and Fay walked up to her sides, took her hands and pulled her with them despite her refusal and wish to be alone. And now all eyes were either on her or the students around were coming to give their comments on the matter. "You're joking right?" Anita looked at Bethany in disbelief."What?" She looked at all of them. "What's going on?" She repeated. "Tom Wade kissed Lacey in Ms. Patter's class." Anita answeredBethany gasped and took her seat beside them. "No way really?" "Check the Holloway app would you." Fay instructed and she obeyed. "Wow! How was it?" Anita and Fay glared at her and she simmered down her excitement. "Sorry. I'm sorry." "As if you would like it if that was done to you." Fay said, patting Lacey's back.
